Forum is great, I plan on absorbing all info I can possibly handle so I can bore non-FJ owners at every opportunity. This is my first post so hopefully I don't make a grave rookie error . If I did, please let me know what it was so I can toe the line.
Here goes: 1972 FJ40-137491, frame and plate at drivers side door match. Motor is immaculate, block has glossy black paint, eat off valve cover, etc. No smoke, starts every time w/o any choke. It is a 2F which I know makes it right off the bat not the original motor. The serial says 2F-877067 and from everything I am reading in these threads, no one's serial even approaches this high of a number.
What's the deal? Counterfeit Chinese motor? Candid camera gag? If it helps, drivers side number on block is 61014 which I believe means the motor was produced October 14th, 1976.
Appreciate the help, especially to a South Floridian
